Wrong Apple ID coming on device

I re-actived an old phone of my son's with my own number. After he updated his new phone yesterday, my apple ID is coming up on his new phone (which I have never used) and on his iPad (which I have never used). When he texts me from his phone, he also receives the text he he sent me. It seems that our clouds are crossed?? We both verified in our Settings that the correct iCloud account is entered. Can anyone help?

This isn't being caused by iCloud. It's happening because you are both using the same Apple ID for iMessage. To fix this you have two choices:
On one of the phones go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID. Note: you can still share the same ID for purchasing in Settings>iTunes & App Stores; or
On both phones go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and uncheck the email address(es) shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at".

Do I need a different apple id for each device? I have two iPads and an iPod but can only purchase things on the first one. When I go to verify the questions they say they are wrong.

Do I need a different apple ID for each device I have? I have two iPads and an iPod but I can only make purchases with the first one I purchased. It tells me the security questions are wrong but I know they are not because I wrote them down. I have also reset them and my password once. Please help if you can

You can not login into iTunes or the App Store using VPP credentials. You must purchase all apps/book/etc. from the VPP website. Then you can redeem the codes thru itunes/app store or import the codes thru apple configurator. Here is the url for the VPP website: https://volume.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/login?cc=us
(It will not affect any of the apps you already have but the id can only be used for VPP.)

IPhone won't activate after restore - says wrong apple ID/password

Hi everyone,
I recently attempted to upgrade to the latest iOS on my iPhone 4. However there was an error, so my phone had to be restored. I did this, and was then prompted to activate my iPhone.
However it is claiming that I am using the wrong apple ID/password when I am not. I am able to log into My Apple ID online and have done so, and have changed PWs and fiddled around with it but it won't let me sign in!
Can anyone help?

Facetime And iMessage (Wrong Apple Id/Password)

Recently I've changed my apple id password for my account,
But when i tried to re-login to my iMessage/FaceTime; it`s showing wrong apple id or password !!!
i`v tried to use my old password but the same message is keep appearing on my iPhone 4s(iOS 5.1.1) And on my MacBook Pro (Mountain Lion),
And tried to change my password again with no result, everything is ok for iTunes,AppStore And iCloud,
The only issue is with these two services (iMessage And FaceTime),
Is there a way to change my apple id password for iMessage separately?
as my modest knowledge about apple account I know that this is a unified id and when you change the password it will be changed for all apple apps and service!
Note: Please don't replay with simple solutions as (reboot your apple devices or restore them) or any user action because I've tried them on all of my apple devices and restored them with no result and I've tried to contact apple support and created a ticket #220407753.
and they couldn't help me and they advised me to check with their technical support center in my country and i think this is weird and bad action from apple support side and the reply was:
"My name is Fritz, from iTunes Store Customer Support and I am happy to help you with this issue.
I understand that you have contacted us because you are unable to access you iMessage. I can certainly understand your concern, and I will be more than happy to get this issue resolved for you, as quickly as possible.
As part of the iTunes Store Customer Support team, we can answer non-technical questions about iTunes Store billing issues, accounts, store content, downloading purchases, and related topics, but we can't answer questions about iMessage. Although your question falls outside of my area of specialty, I will be happy to address your concern regarding your "iMessage."
Mohammed, I would advise you to turn off and turn on your iMessage and try to sign in again using your new password. If this resolution did not resolve the issue, you may wish to contact our iPhone technical support.
AppleCare Technical Support advisors are great people and they will be able to work with you over the phone in order to resolve the issue. A representative will be able to help you determine which option will be most helpful in this case.
Though our technical team might be able to help you out with this specific request let me give you the link to easily locate the exact number which you can call. A representative will be able to tell you about Apple's complimentary and fee-based support options and can help you determine which option will be most helpful in this case. To find the appropriate phone number, please visit:
Contacting Apple for support and service

And I am really shocked by this bad response by Apple.
waiting for an advice
Regards.

Trouble updating in app store. wrong apple id.

i am signed in with my apple id. when i try to update in the app store a different apple id (from the previous owner) is coming up. how do i remove the wrong apple id?

I have two AppleIDs, and also find this happening.
There is nothing much you can do.
When you download an app it is "registered" to the apple ID that downloaded it.
So if you update it you must do it with the AppleID that bought it.
There is no workaround, as it is coded into the app when you download it.
So you can either re-download the apps (and sadly sometimes re-buy) with the new ID.
Or just type in the password from the old ID when you update (which is what I do).
You can go to settings... Store.. scroll down and press the apple ID
log out and log in to the new account.
When you buy or download NEW apps they will be for the ID that you are logged in to.
When you update on the iPhone, it will just ask for the password of the other account.

Wrong Apple ID when Updating App in App Store

When I try to update some apps on my iPhone through the App Store, it's requesting the password for the wrong apple ID. The apple ID it is requesting the password for belongs to a family remember.
I tried the following suggested solution:
1) Logout of App Store & iTunes
2) Delete the app that is requesting credential for the wrong apple id when updating
3) Go to App Store and reinstall the app using the correct apple ID
This solution only works temporarily. When in the future if the app has an update again, it's requesting the wrong apple id again.
I think one possible issue could be that I am syncing the iPhone to the same computer that of my family member.
*Please note, do NOT ask me to sync to another computer. This is not possible .All iOS devices in my family are manged, backed up, and sync on one computer.
*My iPhone is iPhone 4S running iOS 7
*Other iOS devices are iOS 8

You'e got a mess on your hands. Let's see if this helps.
First, that app, and possibly others that you might not have noticed, were downloaded with a different Apple ID that the rest of your apps. Of course, apps and other content are forever tied to the apple ID used to purchase or download them. You didn't say where you are deleting the app, but it sounds like you're doing so on the device, but not on the computer. If that's the case, when you sync with the computer, you may be replacing the app on the device with the other from a different Apple ID.
I would suggest deleting the app completely from ALL devices, including the computer. Be sure you are logged in with the Apple ID used to download all the other apps and get it again from the App store through iTunes on your computer. Then sync it back to all devices that use it.
In general, this can now mostly be avoided if all your devices run iOS 8. Read about Family Sharing: http://www.apple.com/ios/whats-new/family-sharing/

I put the wrong apple id on my icloud account information and it will not back-up. how do I update account information

Hello there, vanzbd.
The following Knowledge Base article has the information you are looking for:
iCloud: Change iCloud feature settings
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
Specifically:
Turn off iCloud completely
Depending on whether you want to stop using iCloud on all or only some devices, do one or more of the following:
On your iOS device’s Home screen, go to Settings > iCloud, then at the bottom of the screen, tap Delete Account
Once you've performed this step go back to Settings and add the correct iCloud account.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

When i login to update my existing apps, the login window shows the wrong apple id. and it's all prayed out, i can't change it. how do i solve this problem?

Content and Apple IDs -
Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with one Apple ID with a new Apple ID.

I have one apple ID for multiple devices in my family. I'd like to keep it that way for itunes/app purchases. I would like a simple step 1, step 2, step 3 response on what I need to do to separate all other features like imessage, contacts, emails, etc.

I have been reasearching how to do this on the internet, but I haven't found an easy explanation yet. My family is going crazy over each others imessages being sent to others in the family and not being able to use FaceTime because of conflicting email addresses. I have read that if each person gets their own iCloud account, this would work. However, I need to know what to do after I set everyone up with their own iCloud account. Do I make that the default email address to be contacted or can they still use their hotmail email addresses. Any help- with easy explanation- would be much appreciated!!

We do this in my family now. We have one account for purchases, so it is used to share music and apps (I think that is in Settings/iTunes & App Stores). Each iDevice has this configured.
Then, each of us has our own iCloud account that is configured under Settings/iCloud. That then allows us to have our own Mail/Contacts/Calendars/Reminders/Safari Bookmarks/Notes/Passbook/Photo Stream/Documents & Data/Find My iPhone/and Backup. That Backup piece is pretty sweet and comes in handly if you replace your iDevice. You can just restore from it.
So we all share the Apple Store account but we all have our own iCloud accounts to keep the rest seperate or things like you mentioned are a nightmare.
In answer to what iCloud does for you: http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/
Think of it as an internet based ("cloud") area for all of those items listed in my response. What you need to remember is photo stream only maintans the last 1000 pictures so don't count it as a complete backup solution for your pictures. Even though I rarely sync with a computer these days, I do still try to sync my phone with iPhoto (I have an iMac) so that I have copies of all of my pictures. 1000 may not stretch as far as it sounds.

Same apple id for multiple devices

I have been use the same apple id for multiple devices (both are iPhones running iOS 6 - one is a 4, the other a 4S.) I'd like to sync separate content for each device using the same instance of iTunes (iTunes V 10.7 installed on MacBook running OS X 10.6.8.) Can I assign the second device a separate apple id in odrer to differentiate the content? Thanks for your assistance!

No, a second Apple ID will not work. iTunes can already tell them apart.
When you connect the first iPhone to iTunes, check and uncheck the things you want and Sync.
Do the same with the second iPhone.

HT201084 My family shares one Apple ID on multiple devices. How do I switch everyone over to their own Apple ID without having to erase their iphones and ipads?

My family currently shares one Apple ID on multiple devices and has for quite awhile. How do I switch everyone over to their own Apple ID and the Family Sharing without having to erase their iphones and ipads?

Thank you again for your time, GB.
I set up individual Apple ID's for my children so that they could have their own Apple ID on their individual iPad minis (gifts from grandparents last year). When I go to iCloud under Settings, I see my Apple ID listed at the top, then my children's listed under Family Sharing. So the device is still using my Apple ID for iCloud, iTunes, etc., correct?
To "assign" their own Apple ID to their own iPad mini, I would need to "Sign Out" from my Apple ID. When I attempt to do so, I receive a warning that all of the Documents and Data will be lost/deleted.
So, instead of doing this, I figured out that I could do what you suggested. Signing in using a child's Apple ID will allow her/him to use Game Center, FaceTime, and Messages just fine. However, using their Apple ID for iTunes & App Store proved to be a problem: Purchased Music and Movies appeared in iTunes, but my Purchased Apps did not appear. Some Apps even disappeared, e.g. Proloquo4Text (a $99 app to help my son speak with his iPad).
So I reverted to using my Apple ID for iTunes & App Store, and I get everything that I want, EXCEPT for the iCloud storage for each Apple ID.
So that's when I started wondering how Family Sharing was really benefiting me ~ It was a lot of work (deleting apps to allow space to download iOS 8, etc) without any benefit that I can see. UNLESS I find a means to allow me to sign in each iPad's iCloud account with a different AppleID, then perhaps restore the Documents and Data from a backup? Would that work?
Thanks.
